Today, we honor Dolly Parton and remember the incredible performance she gave right here at Pete Mathews Coliseum on November 19th, 1977. 🎶❤️

The Coliseum was filled to near capacity for Dolly’s show, drawing hundreds of fans from across the area to see the legendary performer take the stage.

We remember the music, the memories, and the magic she brought to Jax State. Thank you, Dolly.🦋
